Description
Overview:
This throttle rod is a genuine Husqvarna linkage for controlling engine speed on Husqvarna chainsaws. Made from durable formed steel with a corrosion‐resistant finish, it connects the throttle trigger to the carburettor to deliver smooth, accurate response from idle to full revs. Designed specifically for the Husqvarna 254 and 257 models, it matches the original geometry so the carburettor opens and closes as intended.
